Came here as a family of 4. Our kids were thrilled to have their own room. The room was spotless with lovely fresh sheets and comfy beds with nice touches like heated blankets and plenty of linen The kitchenette has all you need for a comfortable stay even included some local chocolates in the fridge. The grounds of this property are stunning and well worth a wander. Lovely hosts who were informative and went out of their way to ensure you are comfortable and happy. We would love to come back one day soon!

The villas were clean, spacious and they had all the necessary items required for the stay. The bedding was comfortable, the towels and bathroom accessories were a treat & the kitchen had all the equipment required. It was a close to town and all the shops. We will definitely use the Gable Yarra Villa again

From the moment I booked communication with Ralph has been fantastic. We arrived early so decided to have some breakfast but received a text saying our room was ready. Ralph was very welcoming and showed us to our beautiful, spacious and warm room. There were tea/ coffee making facilities, toaster, microwave - great for leftover pizza. The shower pressure was fantastic and fluffy white towels, devine but I absolutely loved the little single make up remover towels (the brand I love) - it was such a great stay. My husband even said “I’ve never heard you go on so much about a room before!” Will def be back ❤️

Large room, very clean, friendly staff. Not very far from the town and getting to wineries was only short drives. After visiting wineries and attractions getting back to the room was a great feeling of comfort and homely with clean set of linens. This place has a large backyard that a guest can wonder around. There are a kids playground and space to run about for kids and a vegetable garden with many variety such as different kinds of tomatos, pumkin, zucchini, blackberries, strawberries. Also a chook cage with no smell to enjoy.

We stayed in a queen suite and upon opening the front door we found a spacious welcoming room that put a smile on our face. Clean, comfortable and quiet with modern amenities and well equipped with microwave, crockery and cutlery. Electric blanket was an absolute bonus in the cold Victorian weather. Big fresh fluffy towels and the large 2 person spa was a great way to relax after a big day out. I must mention the gardens and grounds which are large and immaculately maintained with scattered seating, which would be ideal in spring or summer to sit and enjoy a glass or wine or two. Overall this is a little gem and it will be our first choice when we return to the area.

We stayed at Yarra Gables with our two young children and honestly it was the best little getaway we could have asked for. Upon arrival we were greeted by Ralph who is so friendly and welcoming, and we also found out that we had been upgraded to the Yarra Gables house! The house was so clean, comfortable with all of the amenities you could possibly need including a high chair for our baby. The beds were very comfy, the shower pressure was excellent and there was a full sized bath for the kids. The deck was lovely to sit out on also. The little things in the house were extremely appreciated such as make up wipes, local chocolates, biscuits and tea and coffee including coffee pods for the coffee machine. The location of Yarra gables is excellent, close to town and a very short drive to Healsville Sanctuary. The check in and check out process was super easy and the accomodation is very well priced. Our eldest child actually did not want to leave, we will definitely be back to stay again! Thanks for the best stay Ralph, it was just what we needed.

The room was amazing and very good for disabled/ mobility challenged people. It almost felt like you were in your own little self contained cottage even though they were linked. The grounds were so beautiful. We were greeted by Helen on arrival and she even offered to help us get our stuff into our room. Ralph messaged us the first night just to check we were ok, and when a chair broke the next day, he was there in seconds with a new one and a big apology. It was close to the sanctuary and town centre and has everything you need to self cater your stay the beds were so comfy, I can’t vouch for the pillows because I take my own, but they looked nice. The little welcome chocolates were a beautiful gift and good promotion for the chocolate factory there, we liked them so much we found the factory and spent a fortune on gifts 🤦‍♀️.

Really nice location, the room is very clean and have everything you need for a comfortable weekend away. It’s a popular place to stay if you have a wedding, and the owner is very thoughtful to include makeup remover with the toiletry. The big spa bath is a very nice touch. Will definitely come back next time

We had an excellent two night stay in a Queen Spa Room.
This was Room 2 and faced away from the main road and had a view onto the lovely well maintained gardens with lots of tree cover. There are also several seating areas in the garden.
The veranda had a seating area and table and chairs and included some sanitiser.(indoors and outdoors)
They practiced safe covid procedures so rooms are not serviced unless requested and offer contact-less check in and check out..
Ralph was quick in our email correspondence and was very helpful in providing a power board as one of the double power points in the kitchenette had only one working and also provided some additional shampoo and body wash.
Room was extremely clean and very functional. Furniture is well placed to maximise space so it felt very roomy.
Bed and pillows were comfortable and kitchenette with a microwave was useful. Corner Spa was also utilised.
I couldnt get Foxtel working and from reading the previous roeviews this was disconnected due to covid and budget which was a shame as we could have utilised this during our stay. '
Town is only a few minutes drive down the road and its a great base for visiting the many wineries in the area.
If looking for a dining venue Innocent Bystander is great and we also enjoyed the visit to the very close Four Pillars Distillery for gin tasting and a beer. Best to pre-book a seating as they are extremely busy.
A really good stay and we would love to return.
